The FY 2011 - 2015 Strategic Plan, released in February, 2011, incorporated enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act. Congress gave this swaps oversight responsibility to the CFTC because of its strengths in regulating the futures and options markets. While the swaps marketplace has only been around since the 1980s, the futures marketplace has existed since the 1860s has been regulated by the CFTC and its predecessor agencies since the 1920s.
The goals of the CFTC largely remain consistent with prior years with the regulation of swaps being incorporated within the current regulatory structure applied to the futures and options markets.
